The object of my invention is to improve upon 'ih vflilSi'rl'liCillOlTOf the class of drainers above refs to, and more particularly s, forming a part of and 111- dish drainer, to hold the each other.

proved construction of the draino rods above the top rod, coo. rdly extending project-ions, y oi ioop shape, which extend \v'ihoi the drainer, at the upper partforni a series of divisions or the top or" the drainer, preferside thereof, with spaces he to receive the side edge oi the einai 'ter fully described.

dishes, all in the usual and Well known way. i Wlll now describe my improved construction of my dralner.

The rods 2, Fig. 3, forining the sides of the drainer, have their upper ends extend above the top r d 1 of the drainer, and bent over and attachedto the top rod ofthe drainer, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, to form a series of divisions or partitions 2f on eahh side of the drainer. The divisions 2. extend above the top rod 1 of,thc drainer, and within the side topro'ds of the drainer, and form a seriesofspaces 2 on each side of the drainer, at the top thereof, to receive the side edge of the dishes placed Within the drainer, and in connection with the recesses at the bottom of the drainer, formed b the V shaped projections 4, act to hol the dishes in a substantially upright position, and separated from each other. In case of small dishes, not cxtcndin the full Width of the drainer, they may he placed at one side of the drainer, and they will be held in a substantially upright position, and separated from each other by the divisions 2 on one side of the drainer, in connection with the recesses at the lower part of the drainer.

It will-be understood that the details of Construction of my improvements in dish drainer ma be varied if desired.

1 have particularly referred herein to a drainer for dishes, but my drainer may be used for glass ware, as tumblers, which may be supported upside down on the upper ends of the partitions 2'.

I have shown the divisions or partitions at the top of the drainer, on the sides thereof; if preferred they may be on the ends of the d aincr. 1

Having thus described. my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent is 1. A drainer for dishes, comprising a main receptacle having some of the side rods extend above the top rod of the drainer, to form spaces ahove'the top rod to receive the side edge of the dishes.

2. An improved Wire dish drainer, having spaces above the top rod of the drainer, to receive the, side edge of the dishes, placed in the drainer, said spaces made bvthc side rods of the drainer errtendi'ng above and on the inside of the top red of the drainer.
